The “Annual EU CharterXchange” is an initiative of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and the European Commission to enhance the application of the rights enshrined in the EU Charter for Fundamental Rights (EU Charter). The European Commission’s 'Strategy to strengthen the application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the EU’, adopted in 2020, and the subsequent Council conclusions on strengthening the application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in the European Union call for further efforts in the Member States to promote the application of the EU Charter. The CharterXchange contributes to this objective by increasing the exchange of knowledge and experience and fostering collaboration among experts, policymakers, and stakeholders through a regular forum, which started in 2023, dedicated to the EU Charter.

FRA and the European Commission will host a workshop in Brussels to launch the Agency’s report on being Muslim in the EU. The workshop gathers around 30 civil society representatives, representatives of FRA and the European institutions, international organisations and relevant European platforms.

FRA's Director will take part in the EU – UN Human Rights Office strategic dialogue on 21 October in Geneva. The UN Human Rights Office and the EU’s External Action Service organised the meeting.

FRA will speak about institutional and structural racism during the Council of Europe’s European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) annual seminar with Equality Bodies.

On 15 October in Brussels, Equinet, the European Network of Equality Bodies hosts a conference on standards for Equality Bodies.

FRA will join the Energy Poverty Advisory Hub conference organised by the European Commission.

FRA will take part in the Forum 2000 Annual Conference in Prague from 13 to 15 October. This event provides a platform to address a diverse international community and to better understand the challenges to freedom and democracy in our globalised and uncertain world.
